As long as we're talking about EC2, what's wrong with modifying an installed AMI, as root, and saving that as a new AMI? Surely far less hassle than chroot and all...

Yeah, the Arch Build System allows one to locally configure and compile a package; it does not have special flags (like Gentoo) though, we simply get the direct commands used for compilation (think ./configure --enable-option1).
And no, pacman itself packages only for the root system; but pacman, while installing, takes a parameter --root where you can specify a custom filesystem root to install under, though it still requires EUID=0. There once was a discussion on building something like Gentoo-prefix with pacman and ABS, but the apparent technical overhead was deemed unworthy.
